The joys of caravan living 

Sometimes I feel like that crazy lady who likes to have a clean house! I know my family members are pissing themselves with laughter at this point. But every night, well most nights I put the boys to bed and then I start cleaning!! Weird right! The thing is that if I clean the house at night it stays clean for 8 hours. Amazing right! So I do the dishes, clean/dry our bathroom, vacuum and mop/wipe the floors and to finish it off I vacuum my bed. Weird yep. But if you have ever camped/caravaned with kids you will understand, sand and dirt goes everywhere. And my bed seems to be its favourite spot. So every night i vacuum my bed yelling at my sleeping angels and telling myself it won’t happen tomorrow “That’s it. They are not hopping on my bed. I’m sick of having sand in my bed.” Then yep I forget and let them lay on my bed to watch TV before I put them in their beds. Ahh it’s only a bit of sand and I’m kind of getting use to in bed. Extra exfoliation!! Somethings need explaining about my cleaning routine. 

So our caravan bathroom is huge. While showering the boys can also do wee’s in the toilet. It’s called a combination shower/toilet, yep you got it, the shower and toilet are in the same small cubicle. Once the shower has been used its in your best interest to dry the shower area so that when you go to use the toilet your feet and bum don’t get wet. So yep I “clean” the bathroom every night. 

And cleaning the floors it’s a big job especially when you don’t own a mop. Who am I kidding I have a whole 12 x 3 foot area to clean. So on my hands and knees I vacuum the floors with a dust buster, then I scrub the floors. All this to get rid of as much sand as possible. So when I get up to go to the toilet I don’t put more bloody sand in my bed. 

And this is why I love living in a caravan. I can clean the whole van in an hour. It’s great. The only down fall is it takes 10 seconds to mess it up again. 

Til next time

Take care
